Optimal universal two-particle entanglement processes in arbitrary dimensional Hilbert spaces

Abstract

Universal two-particle entanglement processes are analyzed in arbitrary dimensional Hilbert spaces. On the basis of this analysis the class of possible optimal universal entanglement processes is determined whose resulting output states do not contain any separable states. It is shown that these processes form a one-parameter family. For all Hilbert space dimensions larger than two the resulting optimally entangled output states are mixtures of anti-symmetric states which are freely entangled and which also preserve information about input states. Within this one-parameter family there is only one process by which all information about any input state is destroyed completely.

Optimal two-particle entanglement by universal quantum processes

G. Alber, A. Delgado, Igor Jex

Within the class of all possible universal (covariant) two-particle quantum processes in arbitrary dimensional Hilbert spaces those universal quantum processes are determined whose output states optimize the recently proposed entanglement measure of Vidal and Werner. It is demonstrated that these optimal entanglement processes belong to a one-parameter family of universal entanglement processes whose output states do not contain any separable components. It is shown that these optimal universal entanglement processes generate antisymmetric output states and, with the single exception of qubit systems, they preserve information about the initial input state.

Entanglement and the linearity of quantum mechanics

G. Alber

Optimal universal entanglement processes are discussed which entangle two quantum systems in an optimal way for all possible initial states. It is demonstrated that the linear character of quantum theory which enforces the peaceful coexistence of quantum mechanics and relativity imposes severe restrictions on the structure of the resulting optimally entangled states. Depending on the dimension of the one-particle Hilbert space such a universal process generates either a pure Bell state or mixed entangled states. In the limit of very large dimensions of the one-particle Hilbert space the von-Neumann entropy of the optimally entangled state differs from the one of the maximally mixed two-particle state by one bit only.

Multi-Particle Universal Processes

Jiří Novotný, M. Štefaňák, Vojtech Kostak

We generalize bipartite universal processes to the subclass of multi-particle universal processes from one to N particles. We show how the general statement for a multi-particle universal process can be constructed. The one-parameter family of processes generating totally anti-symmetric states has been generalized to a multi-particle regime and its entanglement properties have been studied. A view is given on the complete positivity and the possible physical realization of universal processes.

Quantum entanglement in finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces

Szilárd Szalay

In the past decades, quantum entanglement has been recognized to be the basic resource in quantum information theory. A fundamental need is then the understanding its qualification and its quantification: Is the quantum state entangled, and if it is, then how much entanglement is carried by that? These questions introduce the topics of separability criteria and entanglement measures, both of which are based on the issue of classification of multipartite entanglement. In this dissertation, after reviewing these three fundamental topics for finite dimensional Hilbert spaces, I present my contribution to knowledge. My main result is the elaboration of the partial separability classification of mixed states of quantum systems composed of arbitrary number of subsystems of Hilbert spaces of arbitrary dimensions. This problem is simple for pure states, however, for mixed states it has not been considered in full detail yet. I give not only the classification but also necessary and sufficient criteria for the classes, which make it possible to determine to which class a mixed state belongs. Moreover, these criteria are given by the vanishing of quantities measuring entanglement. Apart from these, I present some side results related to the entanglement of mixed states. These results are obtained in the learning phase of my studies and give some illustrations and examples.

Symmetrization and Entanglement of Arbitrary States of Qubits

Asoudeh, M, Karimipour, V, Memarzadeh, L +1 more

Given two arbitrary pure states $ |\\phi>$ and $ |\\psi>$ of qubits or higher level states, we provide arguments in favor of states of the form $ \\frac{1}{\\sqrt{2}}(|\\psi> |\\phi> + i |\\phi> |\\psi>) $ instead of symmetric or anti-symmetric states, as natural candidates for optimally entangled states constructed from these states. We show that such states firstly have on the average a high value of concurrence, secondly can be constructed by a universal unitary operator independent of the input states. We also show that these states are the only ones which can be produced with perfect fidelity by any quantum operation designed for intertwining two pure states with a relative phase. A probabilistic method is proposed for producing any pre-determined relative phase into the combination of any two arbitrary states.

Entanglement Capability of Two-qubit Operations

Barbara Kraus, Wolfgang Dür, Guifré Vidal +4 more

Abstract We study the optimal way of creating bi-partite entanglement using a general two-qubit in­ teraction. On the one hand, we analyze the entanglement capability of an arbitrary non-local Hamiltonian acting on two qubits. We explicitly calculate the state which maximizes the entangle­ ment produced per time step 81 during the non-local evolution. On the other hand, we determine the maximal amount of entanglement which can be produced by an arbitrary two-qubit gate. We also give the separable state which leads to the output state containing this amount of entanglement. Furthermore, we consider the situation where auxiliary systems are present. Finally, we determine the non-unitary processes which are able to create entanglement from an initially separable state of two systems.
